If you don't at least know the name Nick Cave, then you have made some questionable music choices with your life. Best known as fronting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Cave has been making [excellent] music since the early 70s. A couple years ago, he and fellow Bad Seeds Warren Ellis (not the author), Martyn Casey & Jim Sclavunos formed the side project Grindermanas a more chaotic and garage-y outlet for their creativity. Now they are back for a second album, appropriately titled Grinderman 2, which Ellis described as "like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Düül", "very diverse", and "psychedelic." But I'll tell you what; how 'bout you have a listen for yourself. Below is the first single, "Heathen Child".
